Biographics, Register prepared a summary of information on
Mr. CHARLES for inclusion in the Biographic Intelligence
Report on Haitian Opposition Personalities. ‘This aunmary
ig made up of information obtained from several different
gources. One source classifies CHARLES as ajslippery
character who is active on the Haitian scene jand refers to
him as a "promoter" rather than a Uusinessman, who endeavers
to attract United States "venture" capital for various
Haitian projects and then becomes a partner by virtue of
the promotion. Biographics Register ‘has a very high opinion
of this Source, who is the State Department's Haiti Desk = ~—
Officer. During a debriefing on CHARLES, in' February 1963,
this same source stated that CHARLES /is a confidant of
President Duvaiier.and that he hasijemerged as an active
businessman by virtue of his priviledged position with the

so “Paya Doc's” ‘beaker and fimocial canager. Mr Charies, as vould —
be expected is. “very close. to the Palace” end has ready access to
President Duvelier. As for hig' character, he is described ss “a
crook and a poor liar.” In other words,-Hr Charles is truly a Haitian
political character ana not tbe trusted under any. conditions.

I noted thet Mr Charles mentions his activity in 195% es a negotiator
on behalf of the Haitian Government with the General Electric Co of

’ Ragland for modernizaticn of the. country's telecommmications systen.

As-a result of tiis contract Daiti expertenced one of its greatest

‘political ocandale for. the contract was for US$4 million, and the

actual delivery of products wo only US$] million. I, Mkevise,
observed that ir Charles io president of the Haitian Banana Corp .
which ws originally operoted by Bric Typeabauer ani Colonel Prosper,

| of Senator Lota De Joie, and since his death the ‘company ia headed

by Hr Charles.

2. On 1 May 63 Mrs. Mntlack advised that Charles was staying at

the Pork Sheraton Yotel, New York, and thnt he had telephoned her
since her name had been supplied to him by Dryer. Charles considered
her to be his point of contact in Washington. According to Mrs. Matlack,
Charles had appointments to see Vice President Johnson, Senator Keating,
ond Congressman Rogers (Florida). lowever, Charles was willing to talk
to representatives of Mrs. Matlack's office. Mrs. Matlack stated that
the Iuitian Desk man in ACSI was ready to go to New York to talk to
Charles and invited CIA to accompany him. Churles speaks very little
Englich and a fluency in French was therefore required for the inter-
view. Mrs. Matlack stated that she might be- able to obtain a French
linguist from First Amy, Covernor's Island, but he would not be an

- intelligence officer. It was decided’ that James Balog, New York
Office, who has a knowledge of the French lenguage would accompany
the ACSI representative ' It wus also arranged that
Balog would meet the Ai sentative (Captain Rogers) ot the Park
Sheraton Hotel where Charles was staying.

6. On 6 May 63 Mayo Stuntz, Support Pranch, advised that WH

an appointment. Mrs. Matiack telephoned at approximately 1715 to
advise that she had juct revived a telephcne call from Mrs. de
Mohrenschildt asking assistance in obtaining hotel reservations in
Washinston. Upon being told that we had no special means of obtain-
ing reservations, Mrs. tiatlack stated that she would check with the
State Department Protocol Office to determine which hotels vould
admit negro guests. Mrs. Matlack finally mule recervations at the

. Alban Towers, A check with Jim Balog revealed that he had arranged
for Charles to meet the Wil representative in the lobby of the Willard
Hotel, Washington, D. C., at 1:00 noon on T May. Attempts to reach
Mrs. Matlack that afternoon were unsuccesaful. At 0830, 7 May, a
eall was made to Mrs. Matlack, te confirm that Charles would be in
Washington on that day and that arrangements had been made for a
meeting with an Agency renrenentative for 12:00 noon. Mrs. Matlack
retorted that both Mro. de Mohrenschildt and Charles had called her
that previous evening to confirm a 12:00 luncheon appointment with
her. Mrs. Matiack was concerned that CIA and Army should not be
working at cross purposes. ‘She had received authorization from
ACSI to meet Charles at lunch and felt that it would not be politic
for her to withdrny from her appointment since Aray considered her
the point of contacc with Charles. Wayo Gtunt=: informed WH Division
